    On the Path to SunShot - Cost Reductions Required

    May 13, 2016
    1. Solar Energy Technologies Office
    2. On the Path to SunShot - Cost Reductions Required

    In the On the Path to SunShot report series, the Role of Advancements in Photovoltaic Efficiency, Reliability, and Costs report highlights that while we are making major progress toward meeting the SunShot goals, further cost reductions are required to make solar energy cost competitive with conventional sources of energy by 2020.

    Learn more about the reports in the On the Path to SunShot series and view all of their associated graphics.
